Jeremiah 4:6 in Context — Jeremiah 4

4 Circoncisez-vous pour l’Éternel, circoncisez vos cœurs, Hommes de Juda et habitants de Jérusalem, De peur que ma colère n’éclate comme un feu, Et ne s’enflamme, sans qu’on puisse l’éteindre, A cause de la méchanceté de vos actions.

5 Annoncez en Juda, publiez à Jérusalem, Et dites: Sonnez de la trompette dans le pays! Criez à pleine voix, et dites: Rassemblez-vous, et allons dans les villes fortes!

6 Élevez une bannière vers Sion, Fuyez, ne vous arrêtez pas! Car je fais venir du septentrion le malheur Et un grand désastre.

7 Le lion s’élance de son taillis, Le destructeur des nations est en marche, il a quitté son lieu, Pour ravager ton pays; Tes villes seront ruinées, il n’y aura plus d’habitants.

8 C’est pourquoi couvrez-vous de sacs, pleurez et gémissez; Car la colère ardente de l’Éternel ne se détourne pas de nous.
